FlyingSquid, do games w Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring

At no point did a real US dollar enter this process.

Yes, but something something fiat currency.

Really, crypto’s existence legitimized grifting.

Sorry, we were in agreement. I’m saying there was always an adult market so you’re right.

Adults were fans of Minecraft when it came out since there was really no other sandbox game like it at the time. There were precious few sandbox games at the time period.

I can see that. You’re trying out new ways to express yourself and you’ll feel like you got it wrong sometimes, so you revise it. That could be your voice or the way your walk or the style you wear or your name. You’re living as your true gender for the first time in your life, so there’s bound to be plenty of trial and error.

That’s pretty cool! I’ve wondered more than once what prompts trans people to choose the names they choose but I’ve never felt it was really a polite thing to ask. That is one possibility for choosing a name that makes a lot of sense to me, especially when you can be completely genderfluid in a game. You could be biologically XY but have played games as a woman named Miranda for 20 years, so when you finally transition, you call yourself Miranda. I like that.

This is amusing to me because I’m super old school and was using local dialup BBSes in high school. We all used each others’ BBS handles when we got together for local meetups. I’m still friends with some of them and they still call me by that name even though I haven’t used it since the 90s. I’ve been called by my handle(s) for literal decades.

I went to a really lovely meetup recently of people I’ve been talking to on a small forum for years who I never met before. One of the hosts had the same first name as me. People just called me Squid. I was fine with it.

FlyingSquid, do gaming w I only ever used it for Pokemon, but I'm sure there were other uses.

I’m sure there were other uses.

Choking your little brother when he beats you at Pokemon?

(I have no idea if that’s how it worked, I didn’t have Pokemon for my Gameboy.)

Right in front of the Dunkin, huh? It would be terrible if people kept accidentally spilling their coffee, hot chocolate and the like on it considering you have to immediately scrape bird shit and dead bugs off of it when you get to where you’re going to avoid corrosion. (Really.)

FlyingSquid, do games w Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

I got free of this addiction years ago.

I hate you.

Word Cookies. I absolutely love it. You can pay for things, but it is absolutely not necessary and is basically only if you feel the need to use boosts that allow you to cheat your way past the level. I think it costs $2 to go ad-free.

It does give you regular popups asking if you want to buy coins, which I admit is annoying, but they are unnecessary to enjoy the game. There’s also endless opportunities to get coins and other boosts for free. I have something like 80,000 coins and dozens of boosts and other than the $2 to go ad-free, I’ve never given them any money.

You do have to have certain word skills to enjoy it as much as I do. If you’re the sort who can crush it at Boggle, it’s the game for you.

I don’t doubt what you’re saying, but you have to admit that this is terrible PR for them.

They are turn-based, not real time with pause. I prefer the former too.

They’re amazing. I highly recommend it if you like games in that style. The first two Baldur’s Gates were also like that (I haven’t played the latest).
